Hi I am a wedding videographer and need some advise for an equipment upgrade.
I had the DVX100s for 6 years now and I felt that I need to move on to something newer as clients are starting to inquire about HD for weddings. I can see the GH1 to be a low cost alternative to the HMC150. There is no recording limit in the GH1 although I heard that GH1 is weak on the audio side. This might not be a problem for me as I have other sources of audio (edirols and zoom).
I heard people complaining about the codec (17mbits) of the GH1, is this really a big problem? So far all the videos I have seen on the GH1 are good for my taste.
Is this (GH1) a problem when viewed on larger screens?
I only have a sony FX1 for now and looking into buying another sony FX1. I am kinda pondering if a Gh1 will be a good addition to be used as a 3rd camera (it will be used for artistic shots where bokeh is required ).
Will there be a huge difference in the proposed setup of having 2 Sony FX1 (1080i) and a GH1 (720p)?
7D and 5Dmk2,, is not on my radar right now due to the 12minute recording time limit.
